Diffraction nonlocal boundary condition (BC) is one kind of the transparent boundary condition which is used in the finite-difference (FD) parabolic equation (PE). The greatest advantage of the diffraction nonlocal boundary condition is that it can absorb the wave completely by using one layer of grid. However, the speed of computation is low because of the time-consuming spatial convolution integrals. To solve this problem, we introduce the recursive convolution (RC) with vector fitting (VF) method to accelerate the computational speed. Through combining the diffraction nonlocal boundary with RC, we achieve the improved diffraction nonlocal BC. Then we propose a wide-angle three-dimensional parabolic equation (WA-3DPE) decomposition algorithm in which the improved diffraction nonlocal BC is applied and we utilize it to predict the wave propagation problems in the complex environment. Numeric computation and measurement results demonstrate the computational accuracy and speed of the WA-3DPE decomposition model with the improved diffraction nonlocal BC.

AbstractThis work provides an introduction to one of the most widely used advanced methods for wave propagation modeling, the Parabolic Equation (PE) method, with emphasis on its application to tropospheric radio propagation in coastal and maritime regions. The assumptions of the derivation, the advantages and drawbacks of the PE, the numerical methods for solving it, and the boundary and initial conditions for its application to the tropospheric propagation problem are briefly discussed. More details are given for the split-step Fourier-transform (SSF) solution of the PE. The environmental input to the PE, the methods for tropospheric refractivity profiling, their accuracy, limitations, and the average refractivity modeling are also summarized. The reported results illustrate the application of finite element (FE) based and SSF-based solutions of the PE for one of the most difficult to treat propagation mechanisms, yet of great significance for the performance of radars and communications links working in coastal and maritime zones — the tropospheric ducting mechanism. Recent achievements, some unresolved issues and ongoing developments related to further improvements of the PE method application to the propagation channel modeling in sea environment are highlighted.
